Backyard sale at Tronsmo

The independent bookstore Tronsmo here in Oslo are having their annual backyard sale this weekend. It started yesterday and will go on through tomorrow afternoon (opening hours tomorrow will be 10am-4pm). I was there today and I have to say that this is their best sale ever. They had more books than I've ever seen in their backyard sale before, and they had lots of good stuff. Very good prices too. I bought all these books, look:

I got all of this for 410 crowns. Not too shabby. :-) If you're in Oslo and you get the chance, stop by, you can get some real bargains. If you don't have the chance to go, then don't worry, they do the backyard sale every year. :-)

Flea market season is almost here ... !

Next weekend marks the opening of the flea market season here in the Oslo area. :-) There are two events on the 14th/15th, one of which I would normally definitely go to - namely, the flea market held twice a year at Hasle elementary school. Unfortunately, I will have to miss this one, since I will be in Warsaw, Poland next weekend. I'm OK with that. :-) I'll be back for the one at Høyenhall, though - I always go to that one (it's also twice a year) and I will definitely be there on March 21st. :-)

If you're in the Oslo area and you're looking for a flea market, this is the place to go to: loppemarked.info, a great site with lots of detailed info on a huge number of events. I'm addicted to that site during the season. :-) Check it out. :-)

These are some pictures of various hauls I've brought home from flea markets in the past. Mostly books, yeah. ;-)
